Abstract

Psychology

Human Movement and Sports Science

This chapter provides both of these arguments, presenting an Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) analysis of Distributed Situation Awareness (DSA) and teamwork in an elite women's cycling team during two road race stages. The participants were members of an elite women's Australian National Road Series cycling team. What rider, team and system situation awareness comprises, and how it can be optimised, remained unexplored. By illustrating the relationships between task, social and situation awareness networks and then by interrogating these networks, an in-depth understanding of system behaviour is achieved. Heavily underpinned by network theory and analysis, EAST takes the premise that system performance can be meaningfully described via a 'network of networks' approach, and it uses three interlinked network-based representations to describe and analyse behaviour. In terms of DSA, the networks demonstrate that the overall peloton possesses DSA that comprises the situation awareness of individual riders, riding teams, the peloton as a collective and the convoy and its elements.
